Meta bans posts criticising ‘Zionists’ in latest attack on free speech
On Tuesday, Meta announced it will remove any posts made to Facebook or Instagram containing the word “Zionist,” a term considered “anti-Semitic hate speech” by Jewish lobbying groups.
- The policy update is being attacked as a blow to users’ free expression while, at the same time, hailed as an effective means to “combat anti-Semitism” by Jews averse to criticism stemming from Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
- Posts will be removed from these platformers if moderators determine that they use antisemitic rhetoric or threats against Jews or Israelis under the guise of criticising Zionists.
- While bans are already in place regarding the term “Zionist,” the new measures expand on the subject and prohibit specific uses.
Zooming in: Meta’s decision was reached after a bevy of Jewish groups that monitor so-called “anti-Semitism” approached the social media company. Now, they’re calling for others to adopt similar practices.
- According to reports, Meta consulted with almost 150 advocacy groups and “experts,” including CyberWell, an Israeli nonprofit designed to provide a “solution” to digital hate speech.
- Groups like the Tel Aviv-based Cyberwell are said to have adopted the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism and allegedly provided Meta with data demonstrating a “widespread” use of the term “Zionist” as a euphemism for Jews and Israelis.
The conversation: Jewish organisations have hailed it as a “landmark decision,” while those critical of Israel’s actions in the Middle East remain outraged at yet another blow to their free speech.
- “Meta’s decision is a much-needed advancement in our ongoing fight against online antisemitism and hatred…By recognising and addressing the misuse of the term ‘Zionist,’ Meta is taking a bold stand against those who seek to mask their hatred of Jews,” said Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress.
- “The use of the term ‘Zionist’ to spread antisemitic vitriol while avoiding detection has been used by radicals on the far left and extremists on the far right. Today, Meta has spoken through thoughtful action,” said the executive director of CyberWell, Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor.
- “Indeed, Mark Zuckerberg will decide which criticism of Zionists is ‘legitimate free expression’ — not the First Amendment,” said Chris Menahan of InformationLiberation.

I just wish there was somewhere that every person and group could go that is not controlled by all these alleged Tyrants/Dictators who are pushing us into permanent Tyranny/Totalitarianism.
This little alleged Dictator and his Farcebook permanently disabled my Farcebook page because i was posting extremely credible information on C0vid Fraud and other crucial matters to our Freedoms Rights and Choices – you know when this is happening on an ever increasing scale – we have to find someone who can go into competition with this alleged little Dictator and create an alternative to Farcebook – it could be named Lifebook or something easy that everyone would remember – just imagine if every person, group in the world (who stands for all our freedoms, rights and choices and stands against the filth and tyranny of global political corruption) – yes, just imagine, if they all dumped farcebook and went to another alternative where all our freedoms, rights and choices are respected.
It is not a case of who and where is corrupted (with systemic and extensive conflicts of interest)
it is a case of ‘who isn’t’.
PUT THIS IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT ZUCKERBERG !!
Again I want to refer to the appalling/alleged cover ups/conflicts of interest where Big Pharma in particular are concerned and mention mainstream medias recent headlines \”Ill wind for lung disease in kids\’ \’drastic spike in pneumonia\’.
I am reminding the people about the alleged atrocious, deliberate, wilful, reckless, negligent, criminal damage and destruction done by the covid jabs/injections/vaxxines and that one of the 1,000 or so, destructive, damaging and lethal \’adverse effects\’ of these jabs IS PNEUMONIA. So they are the alleged spreaders. See in particular from pages 30 – 38 – you will note the lists are so huge of the damage from the jabs that they are all crammed up together, was there intent allegedly to make it more difficult to read ?
Of course there is no one allegedly in mainstream media who would be able to \’report that truth\’ is there ?
LOOK AT THE DEATHS AND INJURIES > HORRIFIC DAMAGE/DESTRUCTION/DANGEROUS AND DEADLY ‘EFFECTS’ OF THE COVID INJECTIONS/JABS/VAXXINES THAT CONTINUES, ALLEGEDLY, TO BE HIDDEN FROM THE PEOPLE !
